Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of electronic games (cards or games) using contactless game elements, such as contactless cards or contactless action figures. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of saving the state of a part of a game played by at least two players with such game elements.
  • contactless game elements such as contactless cards for example, representing characters, weapons, defenses, means of locomotion, made available players so that they can reach a goal that can be to seize a region, a kingdom or to seize a treasure.
  • the figure 1 is a schematic view of such a game.
  • the cards 12 represent the hand of the player 10 and the cards 13 that of the player 11.
  • the player 10 has no knowledge of the hand 13 of the player 11 and, conversely, the player 11 has no knowledge of the hand 12 of the player.
  • the game also includes a draw 14 and possibly a discard 15.
  • a contactless interface 16 is connected to a terminal 17 provided with a screen 18.
  • a game software is installed for this purpose on the terminal 17 or the terminal 17 is connected to a remote server 20 via the Internet 19 and the players play online.
  • the game can be controlled using a mouse 21.
  • the game consists for example for each player to put in turn one of his game cards 12 and 13 on the interface 16.
  • the player 10 plays one of his cards 12 and the player 11 plays one of his cards 13.
  • C ' is then again the turn of the player 10 then the player 11 and so on.
  • a player can not play one of his cards, he takes one from the deck 14. If the number of cards a player becomes too large, he can discard by putting a card in the discard 15.
  • the rules of the game can be very variable: when a player places a card representing a weapon on the interface 10, it has for example a power superior to that of the other player who does not have the adequate defense allowing him to counter an attack made with this weapon. He can On the other hand, to fight back with another weapon or to use a means of rapid locomotion allowing him to recover the appropriate defense in another place than the one where he is.
  • Each player may also have to play successively several of his cards. It has for this purpose a game element called master element (a special card) allowing it to identify with the game.
  • master element a special card
  • the master card of the player 10 is referenced 22 and that of the player 11 is referenced 23.
  • These master cards 22, 23 can be placed on the interface 16 before playing one of the game cards 12 or 13 respectively. If the interface 16 has an anti-collision system, the master card can be played simultaneously with the corresponding player's game card, the game then automatically recognizing the player and the card he has played.
  • the game thus runs normally until its end (it ends in principle with the victory of one of the players).
  • the winner can then put his master card on the interface 16 and it is credited with a larger number of points, the player having gained experience, strength or skill for example.
  • a master card evolves over time (it can be the same for a character card), depending on the game experiences experienced by its owner and the outcome of the game. If the holder is victorious to the outcome of a game, for example following a fierce battle in which he suffered injuries, his credit points "health" will be adversely affected because of injuries but he will have gained strength and experience. If, on the other hand, the holder has lost a part, his notoriety will be affected, as well as his state of health and his morale.
  • the problem posed by this type of game is when it has to be interrupted: for example if one of the players has to abandon the game because it has been too prolonged in the evening or because it has other urgent obligations , he is forced to stop playing, with of course the agreement of his gaming partner.
  • the terminal 17 must then be turned off and the cards ranged.
  • the game started is lost, the environment also creates and the game experiences, strengths, standards of living, etc. are not preserved.
  • It is not possible to take a photograph of the game at the time of interruption because the cards that have been played can have an influence on the continuation of the game, for a duration longer than a turn. For example, a card played at a given moment by a player may give more strength to this player for 3, 5 or even 10 rounds.
  • a photograph of the state of play does not make it possible to account for the true state of the game because certain effects due to the played cards can persist in the time.
  • the present invention is intended to overcome this disadvantage.
  • one of the objectives of the invention is to allow players participating in an electronic game using contactless game elements, for example contactless cards, to save the exact state of the game at the time of its playing. interrupt in order to be able to restore it later to be able to resume the game in the configuration in which the game was at the time of its interruption.
  • contactless game elements for example contactless cards
  • the game elements are constituted by contactless cards each comprising a graph (graphic).
  • the recording of the game elements that have not been played includes the recording of the game elements included in a pick.
  • the recordings are made in one of the master cards.
  • the records are shared between the players' master cards.
  • the recordings are made at the terminal.
  • Records can also be made at a server to which the terminal is connected.
  • the method of the invention may also include a step of saving the game items that have been played in a discard pile.
  • the invention is however not limited to such a card game and generally applies to any game played by at least two players who handle smart game elements capable of communicating without contact with a terminal via an interface.
  • the game elements may be pawns or figurines provided with passive or active tags that can be read by the contactless interface. These tags may optionally each include a microprocessor.
  • the contactless interface may for example be in the form of a contactless carpet that can be unrolled and connected and to a terminal provided with a screen.
  • This mat has for example several play zones, an antenna being provided under each playing zone to read and / or write data from or to the game elements without contact.
  • the figure 2 is a diagram representing the different steps of the backup method according to the invention.
  • each player is identified by the terminal by a game element called master element, this card (player card) belonging to a player and being his own. It is therefore distinguished from other cards that are playing cards.
  • Step 30 is a start step.
  • the players decide to interrupt the game, they interact with the terminal 17, for example using the mouse 21, to indicate to the latter that the game must be interrupted.
  • the terminal 17 then proceeds to record, during a step 31, the history of the course of the game portion. This recording can be made as and when the game that has been interrupted.
  • the game elements that have not been played such as the pickaxe, are recorded. This recording may consist in successively depositing on the contactless interface all the game elements that have not been played.
  • the players interact with the terminal 17 with the mouse to indicate that they will for example start with the pick and deposit on the contactless interface each of the cards constituting the pick.
  • the players tell the terminal that they will now record the discard cards (cards played) and place each card from that discard pile on the contactless interface.
  • Another way to proceed is to first deposit all the cards of the deck on the contactless interface and in a second time those of the discard pile.
  • the contactless interface is then provided with an anti-collision system making it possible to identify each of the cards constituting the packet placed on this interface.
  • the terminal 17 knows all the cards of the deck and the discard pile.
  • the game elements in possession of the players are recorded at the time of the interruption of the game using the master elements.
  • This step may consist of first identifying one of the players using his master card and identifying each of the cards contained in his hand. The same procedure is followed for each of the other players. Another way to proceed is to put on the contactless interface the master card of a player as well as those constituting his hand. Once the master card and the recognized hand, we register the master card and the cards constituting the hand of each of the other players.
  • Step 34 is an end step.
  • the terminal 17 records in this manner not only (in the manner of a photograph) the state of play at the time of its interruption, but also the history of the course of the game part (in the manner of a film) . It is therefore possible to restore later and faithfully the state of play as it was at the time of interruption.
  • the partial game remains stored at the terminal 17.
  • the game can therefore be taken by the players later when they are around this terminal.
  • the partial game is stored at an Internet server. Players will then be able to download the game stored on another terminal to continue their game.
  • the partial game after being stored at the terminal 17, is transferred to one of the master cards.
  • the partial game will be copied from the master card storing the partial game to a game terminal.
  • the partial game is recorded in part in each of the master cards. In this way it can only be pursued when the same players meet around a gaming terminal.
  • the memorized partial game can be encrypted, for example by the public keys of the players.
  • the figure 3 is a diagram representing the different steps of the restoration process according to the invention.
  • Step 40 is a start step.
  • a step 41 the history of the progress of the game part interrupted is restored.
  • This restoration can be performed starting from a record at the terminal, an Internet server to which a terminal is connected, a master card or master cards of different players, as seen above.
  • player authentication may be requested by the terminal or the server.
  • the players authenticate using their master cards and / or using passwords (PIN codes).
  • Restoring this history allows players to discard the game items already played during the interrupted game. For example, they are displayed on the terminal screen.
  • the game items that have not been played may be identified. These game elements are for example displayed on the screen of the terminal so that players can put them aside (on a pick and / or discard).
  • a step 43 the game elements to be assigned to each of the players are identified. This identification is carried out using the master elements, for example in the case of cards according to the following scenario: a first player approach his master card from the contactless interface to identify himself. He then presents to the interface one by one the remaining cards (those of the hands of all the players). These presentations are made by presenting the graphics of the card facing the interface, so that the players do not see the cards of the different hands.
  • the terminal indicates during the presentation of each card whether or not it belongs to the hand of this first player. The first player keeps the cards of his hand and removes those that do not come back to him. Once the first player has rebuilt his hand, it is the turn of the second player (who does the same with the cards discarded by the first player), until the last player. In this way, each player can recover his hand without the other players being able to read it.
  • each card is presented to the contactless interface and the terminal indicates which player to return (the players have all previously identified).
  • Step 43 is followed by an end step 44 corresponding to the restoration of the situation of the game as it was during its interruption and the game can then resume.
  • a password is assigned to each recorded part, so that several parts of the same game (played between the same players or between other players) can be recorded.
  • the same character of a game will have different levels but for different games played. A player can thus start several games of the same game with the same gaming partner (or another gaming partner) without any of the parties being finished and also restore the game they decide to pursue.
  • the invention also applies to safe gambling between two parties.
  • a game started between Alice and Bob can only be pursued between Alice and Bob.
  • the invention also makes it possible to offer game decks for sale, with playing cards (characters) having different levels (the higher the level of the playing card is important, the higher its price is high). It is also possible to sell fictitious parts to be restored by players, with ad-hoc cards.
